The host's booming voice rang through the entire Star Luo Square, echoing in every spectator's ears and instantly reigniting the atmosphere.
Everyone's gazes turned in unison toward both sides of the arena. On one side stood the highly anticipated Dou Ling Royal Team, whose lineup appeared young and thin; on the other stood the fully prepared, aggressive Dongyang Advanced Soul Master Team.
Dongyang Advanced Academy was an advanced Soul Engineer academy in Dongyang City, a major city of the Sun Moon Empire. Every one of its students was a Soul Engineer.
The seven members of the Dongyang Team strode swiftly onto the competition stage. Each stood tall, with arrogant eyes and a solid, powerful Soul Master aura.
The team's composition was obvious at a glance: five Soul Ancestors above level forty, accompanied by two Soul Elders who had surpassed level thirty-five. Every member was a versatile Soul Master proficient in Soul Tools.
Five of them carried standard fourth-grade offensive Soul Tools, while the remaining two were equipped with third-grade defensive and battlefield-control Soul Tools. Their offense and defense were both well covered, revealing deep reserves.
The seven spread into an encircling formation. Metallic gleams lit up across their palms, waists, and shoulder armor as all manner of custom Soul Tools stood ready.
The Soul Tool cannons mounted on their shoulder armor were fourth-grade offensive Soul Tools that gathered sunlight to condense high-temperature fiery Soul Tool missiles with extreme piercing power;
The Vibration Rings embedded in their palms were fourth-grade battlefield-control Soul Tools that could unleash violent gale-force winds to disrupt the arena;
The Soul Tool Diamond Shields hanging at their waists were fourth-grade defensive Soul Tools equipped with defensive barriers capable of greatly weakening Soul Skill damage;
The Explosive Flame Chains wrapped around their wrists were third-grade control Soul Tools
